Chapter 1835: Medicine and Poison (Part 1)

The Quylla-Abomination stared at Lith in anger as if it blamed him for its fate before losing its mind and feeding upon its sisters and Faluel.

“Fine, l'll help you." Lith sighed in resignation. "But l'll need everyone's help and this is going to wait until tomorrow. We need to be at the peak of our strength if we want to keep the worst from happening."

And by that, he didn't mean something as tri?e as death.

The following day, Lith and the group met at the tower early in the morning.

"l have good news and I have great news." He said while leading them to the underground ?oors of the mines and the Cmcible. "The good news is that after adding the loot from yesterday's mission, the orc crystal has ?nally turned completely white.

"l can now start working on my golems since thanks to my experiments with Vastor's tracking mechanism it's the gemstone I know best. l should be able to make decent memory crystals out of it.

"The great news is that even the Adamant re?ning process took a huge leap forward overnight. In a few weeks, lwon‘t be stuck with just a few Davross ingots, but I might have enough for a weapon and an armor."

"Seriously? You have so much already to cover your Tiamat form?"

Tista said in amazement.

"l wish." Lith sighed. "I meant enough for a human-sized set. The entire Crucible should be ?lled with Davross to have enough to craft something like that."

"Seriously?" Phloria echoed, yet her voice was ?lled solely with anger.

"Today Quylla might die if not even turn into an Abomination and your so—called good news are about your already thick wallet?“

"Phloria is right, can't you be a little more compassionate for once?"

Friya threw him a reproachful look. "Our sister is acting tough but her knees are shaking."

Quylla looked pale that day and she kept hugging herself despite the wann sun, trying to shmg off the dread cold that haunted her.

"l'm not worried about my wallet." Then, after they all glared at him for a long second, he added: "1 mean, not right now. l said that I had great news because the white crystals produce a ?ow of world energy of their own that the metals further enhance.

"Their progress means that during Quylla's Awakening process I can use both the power coming from the geyser and that accumulated inside the tower mines.

"On top of that, now that we have learned how to use the Hands of Menadion, we can control even the energy of the mana geyser that exceeds the tower‘s capacity. We couldn't ask for better development."

"Nice save." Phloria said, punching him in the shoulder and regretting it immediately after.

Between the Voidwalker armor and his mass, hitting a block of Adamant would have hurt less. Seeing her grimace of pain, Friya managed to stop in time and just glared at him.

"When do we start?" Quylla asked with a hoarse voice.

No matter how much she drank, stress kept her throat dry.

"As soon as Faluel arrives." Solus replied while handing Quylla several milky potions.

"Why Faluel and what's in these ?asks?" She asked.

"Two pairs of Hands of Menadion are better than one." Solus replied.
